    Averrhoa bilimbi 1 Averrhoa bilimbi Averrhoa bilimbi Scientific classification Kingdom: Plantae (unranked): Angiosperms (unranked): Eudicots (unranked): Rosids Order: Oxalidales Family: Oxalidaceae Genus: Averrhoa Species: A. bilimbi Binomial name Averrhoa bilimbi L. Averrhoa bilimbi 2 Averrhoa bilimbi (commonly known as bilimbi, cucumber tree, or tree sorrel) is a fruit-bearing tree of the genus Averrhoa, family Oxalidaceae. It is a close relative of the carambola. Nomenclature The tree and fruit are known by different names in different languages.[1] They should not be confused with the carambola, which also share some of the same names despite being very different fruits. Balimbing in the Philippines actually refer to carambola and not bilimbi (which they call iba in Cebuano and kamias in Tagalog).

It is common in other Southeast Asian countries. In India, where it is usually found in gardens, the bilimbi has gone wild in the warmest regions of the country.

Some of these products have attracted much interest due to their alleged properties of preventing malnutrition, over-nutrition, and disease, maintaining a healthy body. Received 23 February 2020 Accepted 31 March 2020 Scientific studies on these fruits are multiplying, including chemical characterizations and biological investigations onin vitro and in vivo experimental models. This review concerns four edible fruits:Hylocereus undatus (dragon fruit), Annona cherimola Keywords (cherimoya), Citrus australasica (finger lime), andAverrhoa carambola (carambola or star fruit). By screening biomedical Superfruits databases, viz. Scopus, WOS, and PubMed, a total of 131 papers have been selected. Data reveals a wide series of biological functional food effects that confirm traditional medicinal uses or suggest new therapeutic applications.

Borges* Federal University of Maranhão, Physiological Science Department, Pharmacology Research and Post-Graduate Laboratory. Av. dos Portugueses. S/N, Bacanga, São Luís – Maranhão-Brazil, CEP 65085-582. Accepted 18 June, 2013 Averrhoa carambola L., a species belonging to the Oxalidaceae family, is associated with neurological symptoms in individuals with renal diseases. The objective of this work was to accomplish a pre- clinical toxicological study of the hydroalcoholic extract (HE) from A. carambola leaves. Wistar rats and Swiss mice, both male and female, were used in these experiments. The rats were used in the acute toxicity assessment, with the extract administered at doses of 0.1 to 8.0 g/kg (oral route), and 0.5 to 3.0 g/kg (via intraperitoneal route). The mice received the extract in doses of 0.5 to 5.0 g/kg (via oral and intraperitoneal routes) and were observed for 14 days. Rats were also used in the sub-chronic toxicity evaluation, and divided into three groups (n=10): control group, HE 0.125 g/kg and HE 0.25 g/kg. These animals received HE for a 60 day period, at the end of which a macroscopic analysis of selected organs was performed with biochemical analysis of the blood.

A.K.U., Indore, M.P. ABSTARCT: Averrhoa bilimbi belongs to the family Oxalidaceae is a common plants found in the southern part of India. Their fruits were edible and it is consumed by the public. Traditionally various parts of these plants especially fruits and leaves were widely used by the ethnic communities in the treatment of various disorders. Averrhoa fruits are good source of minerals such as potassium, calcium, phosphorous and iron. Averrhoa fruits are low in calorie, sodium and lipids. The plants part was collected and authentified and dried with special care. Extraction was done by using soxhlet apparatus with 95% ethanol as the solvent. Qualitative phytochemical investigation were carried out for the confirmation of the presence of glycoside, tannins and phenolics, Flavonoids, saponins, triterpenes and carbohydrates and other phytoconstituents. The mice were divided into four groups of six animals each comprising of Nomal Saline, Control group, A. Bilimbi Extract treated with Lower Dose (LD) (250 mg/kg b.wt) and Higher Dose (HD) 500 mg/kg b.wt). The study showed that A. bilimbi extract had prevention the formation of micronucleus and chromosomal aberration.

Abstract and dietary risks such are high body mass index, intakes of low fruit and vegetables lack of physical activities, tobacco and alcoholism. Globally, Approximately 70% of deaths from cancer occur in low- and middle-income countries due to the five leading behavior In low and middle income countries, about 25% of infectious diseases are hepatitis and human papilloma virus caused by cancer. Currently available chemo and radio therapies are have not only been able to cure this devastating disease but also cause many un- desirable side effects. Medicinal plants has an important position in the drug discovery and many modern drugs have either origin in traditional medicine of different cultures, by accumulating information on the popular medicinal use of plants. There are well de- veloped traditional medical systems with various herbal preparations which use to treat cancer through eliminating the carcinogen from the systems, blocking one or more steps in cancer development, retarding the further growth of cancer cells while minimizing side effects of chemotherapy.

It is also used in 15 traditional medicines in countries like India, China, the Philippines, and Brazil for 16 treating various ailments such as fever, diarrhea, vomiting, and skin disease. Here we 17 present the first draft genome of the Oxalidaceae family with an assembled genome 18 size of 470.51 Mb. In total, 24,726 protein-coding genes were identified and 16,490 19 genes were annotated using various well-known databases. The phylogenomic 20 analysis confirmed the evolutionary position of the Oxalidaceae family. Based on the 21 gene functional annotations, we also discovered the enzymes possibly involved in the 22 important nutritional pathways in star fruit genome. Overall, being the first sequenced 23 genome in the Oxalidaceae family, the data provides an essential resource for the 24 nutritional, medicinal, and cultivational studies for this economically important star- 25 fruit plant.
